Surgery is 12/17! Ahhhhhhh!
newmebithebypass replied to Loving <3 Me's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
dont worry about the overnight hospital stay its really not that bad and you'll probably be asleep for most of it recovering. and ive had 3 surgeries on my ears this year all out patient but my best advice for you is to ask for the motion sickness patch behind your ear to prevent nausia from the anesthesia and pain drugs its amazing and you'll feel much better than with out it. also if you use a cpap bring it with you. bring slippers to walk the halls with. and just try to stay calm if they put the iv in your hand it hurts but youll be ok ' -
i was told no booze for a year some have been told 6 months it all depends on your surgeon just make sure you look into transfer addiction and be sure not to be the driver when you drink because you really dont know how it will affect you
